While I like the idea from the point of view of somebody who creates a lot of extreme track day stuff, I'm not certain that this isn't already covered by the Advanced safety option (and a little imagination). That said I never quite knew what Advanced Safety in the noughties really meant. It's not like roll cages were even used in production cars before this century, as far as I know.

Could just have a "performance safety" or something that's lighter than advanced safety, but maybe not quite a good, and also gives a bit of a boost to the sportiness because a roll cage would be considered as part of the package? And give a fairly big boost to production units because of the roll cage assembly.

Yeah, and maybe have sport safety decrease practicality and comfort because of the reinforcing bars jutting into the passenger space and the five point harness making it hard to move. Maybe kill utility too because of the reinforced fuel cell sitting in your storage space

Also I think most supercars have what would be considered a rollcage hidden with fabric and awkward storage compartments, so it would be fitting for the game

I often thought that would be a good means of weight reduction in a car. Build the entire structure around a roll cage. Body panels themselves would be relatively flimsy(not too flimsy, I wouldn't want it to blow apart from the wind but you get my idea), but the safety would lie in the roll cage chassis. Something to provide a rugged, safe design with reduced material cost and weight.

That's pretty much exactly what a spaceframe chassis is, a car made entirely of rollcage
